NAME

export - marks a variable name for automatic export to the environment of subsequent commands in multimode

SYNOPSIS

export [ name=value [ name=value] *]

DESCRIPTION

Use the export command to mark a variable name for automatic export to the environment of subsequent commands. All subsequent commands use the variable name values as specified; unless you unset them or exit multimode. If only the variable name is specified, subsequent commands receive a value set in a previous assignment. If the export command is used without any arguments, a list of all the exported variables and their values is displayed. Exported shell environment variables set prior to invoking the asadmin utility are imported automatically and set as exported variables within asadmin. Unexported environment variables cannot be read by the asadmin utility.

OPERANDS

name=value: variable name and value for automatic export to the environment to be used by subsequent commands.

EXAMPLES

Example 1. Using export to set a single environment variable

asadmin> export AS_ADMIN_HOST=bluestar

Example 2. Using export to set multiple environment variables

asadmin> export AS_ADMIN_HOST=bluestar AS_ADMIN_PORT=8000 AS_ADMIN_USER=admin 
AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password AS_ADMIN_PREFIX=server1.jms-service

Example 3. Using export to list the environment variables

asadmin> export
AS_ADMIN_HOST=bluestar
AS_ADMIN_PORT=8000
AS_ADMIN_USER=admin
AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=********
AS_ADMIN_PREFIX=server1.jms-service

Where: the export command lists the environment variables that are set. In this case, the environment variables have been set to: the host is bluestar, the port is 8000, the administrator user is admin with an associated password, and the prefix is server1.jms-service.
